A reporter from local news station KFOR supposedly called it the biggest, most destructive tornado in the history of the world, and estimated it was two to three times the magnitude of the massive tornados that hit Oklahoma in 1999. Updates to come. Updates:
Acer ârubrumâ refers to the color red, and red is certainly this treeâs defining feature. When fall arrives, your Red Maple will be one of the first to color, quickly cloaking itself in more of the vibrant red shades that give it its name.
The color red was taken from the Saint George's Cross and the color white from the French royal emblem. The maple leaf at the center of the flag represents the national tree of Canada. The Canadian flag is also known as the Maple Leaf flag and was inspired by the flag of The Royal Military College of Canada.
